Two On N'western Board Nominated

May 23, 1985|The Morning Call

Two incumbents in the Northwestern Lehigh School District race have emerged as nominees for another term, but for other nominees, final election results have revealed an outcome different than that reported in yesterday's Morning Call.

Yesterday's report of the unofficial count incorrectly listed incomplete results as final results.

The top vote-getter on the Republican ticket was incumbent Curtis Dietrich, with 551 votes. Dietrich, 25, the youngest ever elected to the board, was the highest vote-getter on both tickets in 1981.

Incumbent Kenneth Kistler was second highest on the Republican ballot with 527 votes.

Kistler, who cross-filed along with the other school candidates, received 403 votes, the most on the Democrats' ticket. Dietrich also clinched a Democrat nomination with 365 votes.

Ramona Fink, operator of Heidel Hollow Farms, collected 499 Republican votes to become the third highest on that ticket.

Rounding out the Republican ticket in a field of candidates seeking four seats was Richard Bittner, a Lynn Township zoner. Bittner narrowly clinched the fourth spot with 440 votes. He also secured third place on the Democrat side with 325 votes.

On the GOP ballot, Bittner beat out Willard Grim Dellicker, manager of industrial engineering at Gardner Cryogenics, a department of Air Products and Chemicals. Dellicker collected 436 votes on the Republican ticket but managed to get the fourth Democrat nomination with 317 votes.

Failing to secure spots on either ballot were Michael Ondra, who drew 371 Republican votes and 310 votes on the Democrats' ballot. Also losing the nomination were Rodney Moyer, who drew 365 Republican votes and 294 Democrat votes, and Curtis Staudt, who drew 421 Republican and 263 Democrat votes.
